This to me is the only scenerio that has Wanderin Boy winning, however, if he is pressed at all, he has shown for quite some time now that he will fold against graded company. Mambo is not impossible, but it will take a big jump in improvement. I don't think these scenerios are likely enough to risk my money on them today except for small savers in the pk4.

Andy,

That was a well thought out and articulate response. I now know where you are coming from and totally agree with you. Unfortunately we'll probably rarely if ever really see true "greatness" as horses are wisked away to the breeding shed so quickly these days. Hopefully the economics of the game change and allow owners to keep horses in racing longer, at least through their four year old campaigns.

Thanks for taking the time to respind and I hope you do well today!

HH
